How To Help Your Child Stop Wetting The Bed

From EjWiki

Be encouraging. Make your little one really feel good about progress by constantly rewarding successes. Eliminate bladder irritants. At night time, begin by eliminating caffeine (similar to chocolate milk and cocoa) and if this doesn’t work, cut citrus juices, synthetic flavorings, dyes (particularly pink) and sweeteners. Many parents don’t understand these can all irritate a child’s bladder.

There are two types of alarms: audio and tactile (buzzing) alarms. The principle is that the wetness of the urine bridges a hole within the sensor, which in flip units off the alarm. The sensor is placed either on the child's underwear or bed pad. The baby then awakens, shuts off the alarm, finishes urinating in the rest room, returns to the bedroom, changes clothes and the bedding, bedwetting medication wipes down the sensor, resets the alarm, and returns to sleep.

Cutting back on drinks that contain components that irritate the bladder: caffeine, carbonation (fizz/bubbles), citrus juices and sports drinks. The bedwetting alarm is a form of conditioning therapy to help your youngster start to recognize the need to wake as much as go to the bathroom. Bedwetting alarms consist of a sensor to detect wetness and an alarm to awaken the little one.
